Mother mourns 'beautiful' 12-year-old shot while watching TV during Kenya protests.

[Sanjeev]

12-year-old Bridgit Njoki was sitting in her family's small house on Monday, watching television as rallies against the government swept over certain parts of Kenya. She was unaware that her living room would become the scene of deadly incidents between these demonstrators and Kenya's armed police. Lucy Ngugi, Njoki's mother, told the BBC that a single bullet entered the house through the roof, puncturing the ceiling and hitting Njoki in the head. She was declared dead in the hospital within a few hours. "She was my everything," Ms. Ngugi sobs in her home outside of Nairobi, the country's capital. "She was all I had."

This is so sad, i have heard about cases like this, where stray bullet hits someone. This is really sad though.

Yes, this is sad. Hope Israel stops the attacks soon in Palestine. But still someone will have to come up to do the deal.

That was so sad she was hit and killed from a stray bullet. I pity the mom. She might not be able to move on. Hoping the criminal was already apprehended.
